Plant Propagation Techniques

Banana plants are typically propagated using rhizomes, which are underground stems that produce new shoots.

Micropropagation is a technique of plant tissue culture used to produce large numbers of genetically identical plants from small explants under sterile conditions.

Eichhornia (water hyacinth) is a classic example of a plant that reproduces vegetatively via offsets, which are short, thick runners.

In grafting, the scion is the upper part of the plant that is grafted onto the rootstock.

Embryo culture is often used to rescue embryos that would otherwise abort due to incompatibility between parents, thus overcoming hybridization barriers.

Totipotent cells can differentiate into any type of cell.

Inbreeding is done in animals for improvement.

Hybridization is the process of combining different varieties of organisms to create a hybrid

Bryophyllum can be propagated by leaf buds.

This is the correct option.

fact

Importing better varieties and plants from outside and acclimatising them to local environment is introduction.

Pathogen-free plants can be obtained through bud or shoot tip propagation on culture medium as it has aseptic environmental conditions.

fact

Morphogenesis is the biological process that causes an organism to develop its shape. It is one of three fundamental aspects of developmental biology along with the control of cell growth and cellular differentiation.
